Full error is:
Microsoft Excel can't run this add-in.
Microsoft Excel cannot install the necessary files due to Windows Installer error 1605.
This action is only valid for products that the currently installed
I get this error 3 times while starting Excel (after splash screen). I also get a similar error when starting PowerPoint.
Background:
I was a beta tester for Office 2003, I then got the 120 day eval copy. Microsoft said to do a deinstall of the beta, then install this version. I did. That is when the errors started. With the beta, I installed the stock lookup add-in in Excel. I worked after the Eval install without any action on my park, put I did (I think ) reinstall it after having this problem anyway - did not help.
Any ideas about how to fix this?
Thanks!!
